A mostly discarded species, #vultures. Africa’s biggest #conservation problem. Vultures are a distinctive, keystone species that provide critical ecosystem services. They play a vital role in maintaining healthy #ecosystems and limit the spread of #zoonotic diseases by cleaning up carcasses and organic waste from the landscape. Unfortunately, you may not think of vultures as the prettiest of animals, but they are arguably one of the most important species. However, they are the most #vulnerable

HEY! It's International Vulture Awareness Week 🪶 ...because nature's cleanup crew deserves more than one day of recognition. From high-flying thunderbirds to bald-headed beauties, we'll be highlighting this keystone species all week long. Keep calm but don't carrion because you don't want to miss this. #ivad #birdsofafeather #vultures #sdzsafaripark | San Diego Zoo Safari Park
